Solo vs. Elite Mobs

Just the game gods telling you to stop wasting your time with pansy cats and get a real pet, like a bear.

Actually my cat does quite well vs most elites as well but I'm a beast master build so that might might a difference. I rarely have to use mend pet until after the battle or unless I get an add. Rank 6 of both natural armor and great stamina on the cat, rank 2 of all the resists except fire which is rank 3, and the top ranks of claw, bite, dash, and growl. Good use of intimidation to stun the mobs, beastial wrath + rapid shots (or my devilsaur eye) to really put out some damage without worrying about pulling aggro. Sure the cat only has 5400 armor and 3500 (or so, not sure, she's buffed a lot) HP but that is fine. I kinda wish she had cower at times but usually just telling her to follow me, distracting shot and doing a little kiting is enough.

Though I'm also training up a turtle as well just because I like the idea of 6000+ armor pet. :) Though shell sheild is disappointing, I still kinda like the turtle since you don't see too many of them.
